GuruPlug

After a short wait, I received the GuruPlug, this little computer will host the GLiB website (currently down ...).

This is the pretty and elegant package:
and the unpacking:
It include only the GuruPlug, one eth cable and two electric adapters.

The specifications and diagram are:


Of course this machine runs Linux (Debian Lenny) and it includes some basic services: Wifi server, CUPS, LAMP (lighttp + MySQL + PHP), ssh, samba.

This is the GuruPlug in action:
Some action in the terminal:

I'm really impressed with this, cheap, simple and functional. I'll be writing about the modification I'll do to this.

Code evolution

I like computer generated graphics, but if can be generated by real data and can improve some insight I say: WOW look this! Last day I saw Michael Ogawa's works about how some codes had an evolution, I think he is using the data captured in the CVS, parsed and input to create a really amazing animations. He worked with Eclipse, Python, PostgreSQL and Apache, which are good examples of open source projects with many releases and people coding. Eclipse required HD because the enormous data. The videos: Eclipse HD Python PostgreSQL Apache From: SlashDot

Advice for potential graduate students

I found this text,copy and paste because it's an advice and must be in every biological laboratory. ADVICE FOR POTENTIAL GRADUATE STUDENTS We currently have room in the lab for more graduate students. But before you apply to this lab or any other, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, be realistic about graduate school. Graduate school in biology is not a sure path to success. Many students assume that they will eventually get a job just like their advisor’s. However, the average professor at a research university has three students at a time for about 5 years each. So, over a career of 30 years, this professor has about 18 students. Since the total number of positions has been pretty constant, these 18 people are competing for one spot. So go to grad school assuming that you might not end up at a research university, but instead a teaching college, or a government or industry job. All of these are great jobs, but it’s important to think of all this before you go to school...
